Exemplary commitment, courage by ISRO, says President

President Ram Nath Kovind.

New Delhi,  President Ram Nath Kovind on Saturday said the ISRO team has exhibited “exemplary commitment and courage” on the Chandrayaan-2 moon mission.

“The country is proud of ISRO. We all hope for the best,” the President tweeted as the Vikram lander lost communication minutes before it was scheduled to make a touchdown on the moon’s surface.

The team of ISRO scientists wore a gloomy look soon after signals from Vikram stopped coming even as it was just 2.1 km from making soft landing on the moon’s South Pole.
